This post officially launches the voting period for the Crowd-Favorite Award, which comes with a prize of $500!

Use the Twitter buttons and hashtags below to cast your vote. We will be counting distinct tweets for each contestant, so you only need to vote once for your favourite contestants. Voting will stay open until 11:59 p.m. PST on Monday, 4 July.

Meanwhile, the Tableau team will be judging each entry on design, storytelling, analysis, and overall appeal to pick the main-prize winner. And that winner will go on to take the stage at TC16 in Austin to compete in the Iron Viz competition.

The winners for both the Crowd-Favorite Award and the main prize will be announced on Tuesday, 5 July!
